1 DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF SECURITY ASSISTANCE COMBINED SECURITY TRANSITION 1 COMMAND AFGHANISTAN KABUL, AFGHANISTAN APO AE REPLY TO 13 December 2016 ATTENTION OF TO: North Atlantic Treaty Organization Afghan National Army Trust Fund In-Theater Board SUBJECT: NATO ANA TRUST FUND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2017 INTRODUCTION 1. This memorandum holds the 2017 NATO ANA Trust Fund (ANATF) Implementation Plan for tabling and approval at the ANATF In-Theater Board meeting on 13 December This Implementation Plan has been updated with the revised business practices that were adopted by the ANATF In-Theater Board in the course of the past three years and represents proposed Donor Nations for the projects identified in Annex A to this document. This project Working Plan may be updated quarterly throughout 2017 for presentation and approval by the Donor Nations and Trust Fund Board at that time. The 2017 Implementation Plan will finance approximately $384,907,788 (USD) worth of critical Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) sustainment requirements. This represents donations pledged for 2017 and the remainder of unused and/or outstanding pledges from 2016 and Approval of this document will be the authority for the execution of donor nations funds without further actions with those nations unless changes to the projects or changes to the allocation of donor nation funding becomes necessary; written national caveats will be honored according the desires of the donating nation. BACKGROUND 2. The ANATF was originally set up by the North Atlantic Council (NAC) in 2006, initially to support the efforts to equip the Afghan National Army (ANA). In 2009, the role of the ANATF was expanded by the NAC to include long-term sustainment requirements and further expanded in 2011 to support long-term literacy, English language training and professional military education of ANDSF. In 2013, Donor Nations decided to adapt the ANATF in view of the 2012 Chicago Summit commitments to support ANDSF sustainment post The NAC agreed that ANDSF sustainment should be Afghan-led, be based on a comprehensive requirements plan, involve multiple funding streams, including the ANATF, and operate within a robust accountability framework. The Donor Nations acknowledged the need for close coordination between the different funding streams and with the Afghan government. Based on these initiatives, the ANATF is controlled by the Arrangements, Rules and Responsibilities agreed by the NAC with PO (2013) 0588, dated 28 November 2013, and by a Revised

2 2 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), dated 17 June 2014, which provides organizational, fiscal and management arrangements and covers the roles and responsibilities of the U.S., NATO HQ and Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE). An extract of the MOU describing these responsibilities is at Annex B, with the main divisions being: a. NATO HQ is responsible for fund raising, the ANATF website, and for mobilizing International Community support. b. SHAPE is responsible for financial management of the SHAPE Trust Fund Bank Account. c. The United States are responsible for management and execution of ANATF funds. d. Resolute Support Mission is responsible for coordinating capacity building, integrity building, and women s participation activities. SCOPE OF THE TRUST FUND 3. The ANATF will, within its adapted arrangements, continue to focus on the Afghan National Army while maintaining the already existing flexibility, if necessary, for the use of the Trust Fund in support of literacy training, capacity and integrity building activities, as well as women s participation within the relevant Afghan Ministries and security institutions. Requirements are built into the consolidated ANDSF requirements plan developed by the Afghan Ministry of Defense/Interior (MoD/MoI), with the support and assistance of the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan (CSTC-A). The ANATF will concentrate on those requirements that lend themselves to structural reporting, inventory control and auditing. Within these adopted arrangements, the execution of funds will adhere to written national caveats. Nations are to limit their caveats to broad categories of expenditure (see Broad Funding Categories). The United States confirmed at the ANATF Plenary session conducted in Brussels (May 16) that they would continue the management of the ANATF. The key elements of the adapted arrangements remain, including: a. The ANATF Implementation Plan. b. The 2014 Memorandum of Understanding. c. Reporting and accountability requirements. d. Auditing arrangements. e. The NATO ANATF Board.

3 3 4. Donor Nation Pledges. The ANATF Implementation Plan relies on the annual pledges provided by each country. This 2017 Implementation Plan relies on the 2012 Chicago summit pledges for 2017 and nation account balances held with SHAPE. All pledges were identified in US Dollars (USD). According to the 3 November 2015 update to the MOU, pledges given in Euro will remain in Euro until it is determined how the money will be executed, but all other donations should be given in USD, or will be converted to USD upon receipt. THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 5. ANATF s Planning and Implementation Processes. The ANATF Implementation Plan is based on overarching ANDSF Requirements, supported by the CSTC-A J Book, and developed by the Afghan MoD/MoI as endorsed annually by the Oversight and Coordination Body (OCB). The Implementation Plan takes these approved requirements and aims to satisfy them through ANATF projects and activities, linked clearly to Donor Nation contributions. In doing so, the Implementation Plan will include the ANATF s funding mechanisms (with financial flow details attached at Annex C), broad funding categories and a Working Plan listing the individual projects Working Plan. The ANATF s 2017 Working Plan is attached at Annex A and includes a prioritized summary of projects with Donor Nation details at Appendix 1, Project Details in project sequential order at Appendix 2 and Donor Nation Financials in Appendix Working Plan Updates. The Working Plan is, by necessity, a dynamic document; potentially changing throughout the period, as individual projects are added, removed, adjusted or refined. New requirements will be actioned appropriately by the NATO ANA Trust Fund Office (NATFO) and, in consultation with the Co-chairs, submitted to the Trust Fund Board members for approval. On behalf of the Board, changes to the working plan may be submitted for consideration via silence procedures. The Co-chairs may seek Working Level guidance before asking the Board to consider projects under Silence Procedure (for example, for particularly complex or multi-year proposals). Should a Board member raise an objection during Silence Procedure, the project will be considered in a, possibly extraordinary, Board meeting. Communication with all stakeholders is critical, and is supported by a communications plan attached at Annex D. 8. On/Off-budget activities. The Implementation Plan identifies projects that will be implemented on-budget by the Afghan authorities as well as projects that will be implemented off-budget by CSTC-A authorities. Within these elements, the Implementation Plan includes projects covering capacity and integrity building within Afghan counterpart organizations, fostering the participation of women in the ANDSF, as well as providing for meeting the costs of managing the fund.

5 5 REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY 9. Reporting. The Resolute Support Mission s (RSM) key to success in Afghanistan is transparency, accountability, and performance management. The three pillars supporting the transparency and accountability policy are the 1396 Commitment Letters (further details are at annex E), internal audits (attached at annex F) and external audits (attached at annex G). In support of the requirements for good governance, NATFO will provide the following reporting and accountability mechanisms for the ANATF: a. Performance Report and Certified Financial Account Statement. An Annual Performance Report and Certified Financial Account Statement at the end of the fiscal year. NATFO is to provide the Annual Report to stakeholders (as identified with the 2014 MOU, paragraph 7-1) by 15 March of each year. b. Execution Reports. Quarterly Execution Reports that provide updates on implementation, quarterly expenditures incurred, and results achieved during the respective quarter. Quarterly Execution Reports are due to NATO HQ 45 days following the end of the quarter and available to Donor Nations via the ANATF Website. c. Auditing. The ANATF is subject to auditing in accordance with Section 9 of the 2014 MOU. The intent of these audits is to provide the Donor Nations with confidence that their funds are spent in accordance with the 2014 MOU in an accountable and transparent manner. The auditing regimen is specified in annexes F and G, and includes DoDIG and IBAN audits as well as an ANATF procured audit by an independent public accountant, starting with the yearly review of FY2015 execution. All audit reports covering ANA TF management and implementation will be brought to the attention of, and be reviewed by, the ANA Trust Fund Board. d. On-budget accountability. Additionally, CSTC-A EF1 Auditor conducts audits of ANDSF on-budget requirements and execution. The intent of these audits is to provide Donor Nations with accountability reports including details on the status of funding, the disposition of the products and services provided to the Afghan Government. 10. Dual Financing. The Working Plan will be, by necessity, a dynamic document with amendments and cancelations to previously approved requirements included within the Plan. The Quarterly Working Plan updates will reflect the changes within the ANDSF operating environment and the evolution of the ANDSF towards a sustainable, effective, and affordable force. NATFO will continue to work towards minimizing any amendments and cancelations to

6 6 the Working Plan where possible. CSTC-A continues to acknowledge donors concern over this issue and has instituted internal procedures to reduce this governance risk associated with projects with multiple funding streams under execution by the ANATF. The 2017 Implementation Plan represents the most projects that can be executed with single funding streams and participation of the majority of the donor nations Broad Funding Categories. Within the arrangements for the 2014 MOU, decisions on the execution of funds will adhere to written national caveats and specific procedures required to comply with each donor nation s domestic laws and regulations. Nations are to limit their caveats to broad categories of expenditure. In order to enable Donors to give direction to their contributions, the requirements to be funded by the Trust Fund have been grouped into six designated Broad Funding Categories. These Broad Funding Categories have been defined as follows: a. C4ISR (Command & Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance). Defined to enable funding for procurement, sustainment, operations and maintenance support for all communications, IT and aerial surveillance requirements provided to the ANA as well as maintenance and repair of night vision equipment. Requirements include supplies and support equipment necessary to support ANA communications and intelligence integration. b. Infrastructure Sustainment. Defined to enable funding for requirements to keep the ANA facilities in good working order, including Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization (SRM) and Maintenance. Also includes: day-today maintenance requirements, including operating power plants, waste water treatment, periodic maintenance inspections as well as measures that correct minor deficiencies and implements new or higher standards to accommodate a facility s new functions or mission. For all recurring maintenance requirements within this funding category, a detailed plan is to be included to ensure Afghan self-sufficiency into the future, for example, a train the trainer or apprenticeship type plan. c. Logistical Sustainment. Defined to enable funding for ANA sustainment requirements, including but not limited to: clothing, individual equipment, medical supplies and consumable, medical vaccines and pharmaceuticals, replacement equipment, and operational sustainment. This category includes repair parts procured to support recurring maintenance conducted organically or through contract support. For all recurring maintenance requirements within this funding category, a detailed plan is to be included to ensure Afghan self-

7 7 sufficiency into the future, for example, a train the trainer or apprenticeship type plan. d. Training. Defined to enable funding for professional military education at Afghan institutions and Mobile Training Teams, including individual training, unit collective training, as well as specialty training. e. Other: Defined to enable funding for requirements that are distinct or unique from the above categories, for emerging requirements driven by complex counterinsurgency operations and for requirements that support women s participation in the ANA. In addition, the administrative cost of the NATO ANA Trust Fund Office is also included in this funding category. Forecasted administrative cost for 2017 includes but not limited to the following: External Audit, Commercial Phone/Internet/VTC services, Translation services, Banking Fees, Travel, and Consulting Fees. PROJECT EXECUTION 12. In accordance with the MoU updated 17 June 2014, approval of this document will be the authority for the execution of donor nations funds without further actions with those nations unless changes to the projects or changes to the allocation of donor nation funding becomes necessary; written national caveats will be honored according the desires of the donating nation. All quarterly updates to the plan will seek donor nation and Trust Fund Board approval before implementation. NATFO will continue to provide transparent updates to the Trust Fund Board on actions using donor funds as approved by the donor nations. Annexes: A Requirements Working Plan B.
